Almost done

I made this table topper last year.  I just need to put the binding on.  It will make a nice addition to my patriotic decorations for the summer.

Making progress

Here is the progress I've made to Bedford Skies.  I've completed the center of the stars and now I'm working on the flying geese.

Bedford Skies Quilt

I started a new project the other day.  This one is from Connecting Threads called Bedford Skies.  I bought this kit a few years ago and I'm just getting around to it now.  I've never worked on anything with so many stars before.  I'm happy that they are bigger pieces. 




I learned a trick with flying geese - don't start at the corners.  They kept getting jammed and bunched up.  I'm sure this isn't any big secret, but I was happy to learn it myself.
